Creative work. I am wondering if maybe a hot air balloon or just helium filled balloon. I guess either one could go up and up and even out of sight. I enjoyed reading your winner. Way to go. Congratulations. Sara K.

Notes regarding poem-With the morning sun rising in the east, I tried creating the image of balloons blowing in the wind in a westward direction as the morning sun waved goodbye and a happy journey.
